Nursery Curriculum

Brabyns Nursery follows the Early Years curriculum guidelines, consisting of seven areas of learning and development which are interconnected:

  • Personal, Social & Emotional Development
  • Communication and Language
  • Physical Development
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design

We see each child as an individual, with their own unique interests, characteristics and capabilities. Our curriculum, and each child’s next steps, are carefully tailored according to these, whilst working in collaboration with you.

The children learn through a combination of adult-focused taught sessions with indoor and outdoor learning time, providing incredible opportunities to inspire, stimulate, motivate and challenge them further!

Children in Nursery benefit from the expertise of our specialist teachers through weekly lessons in Spanish, Science, Physical Education, Music and Performing Arts, in addition to regular Art, gardening, woodwork, baking and Forest School sessions, along with visitor experiences and trips.

Transition from Nursery to Reception

The transition from Nursery to Reception at Brabyns is seamless. Throughout the year the Nursery children will spend time with our Reception children and staff, as well being given ample opportunities to explore both their indoor and outdoor classroom environments.

Our Nursery and Reception team dedicate time to working in collaboration, engaging in regular dialogue relating to each individual child’s attainment, progress and next steps. This ensures that the Reception staff are fully aware of the individual’s capabilities, areas that they need support with, and how they can be challenged further in the subsequent class.
